Yuting's (邵友庭) natural form

Yuting, another native of Yixing active around the 19th century, was famous for creating teapots that depict natural forms.

Alans Museum has a piece of Shao Yuting's work. It was also acquired in the early 90s in an antique shop in Singapore. The teapot shaped like an oriental fruit. The word Yuting was engraved in the inside of the cover.
